Shownotes Transcript

For this mini lesson, I wanted to take a look at how Americans use the slang terms, jacked up and tweaked. I actually used both terms last week when asking my son about his hurt leg.  Thankfully, he only tweaked it. If you stick around until the end, I explain how learning Latin and Greek roots can increase your comprehension and give common words with the root, para.
